DAUGHTERS OF PENELOPE GRAND PRESIDENT JAN SPANOS
The Future Offers Untold Golden
Opportunities, Possibilities
Jan Spanos
This year we all need to play a vital role in advancing the AHEPA family into a Golden Era of excitement through local, national and international venues that will increase our visibility and strengthen
our entire domain.
I am calling upon each of you to be resolute in following our mission statement; to be fair but
firm in adhering to the Constitution, Ritual, Policies and Procedures of our Order; to support the
initiatives, programs and projects as outlined by the National Lodges; to respect others, and most
importantly, to honor our storied and Golden Past as we celebrate our bright future.
This year, we will have many golden opportunities to bring global attention to our good work.
Individually the task may sound daunting but as a team our strength and message can be immeasurably powerful. With the combined energy of the four Orders, our accomplishments will be far
reaching.
The future is now. It is so much more than what we can envision at present. It offers us untold
golden opportunities and possibilities.
The Daughters of Penelope is on the threshold of the brightness that I firmly believe our Founder,
Alexandra Apostolides, envisioned for us 87 years ago on that November 16 day in San Francisco.
Join me and our entire Grand Lodge this year on the journey that will inspire us all to use every
golden opportunity to keep Alexandra's dream alive!
